4'-Functionalized 2,2':6',2''-Terpyridines as Building Blocks for Supramolecular Chemistry and Nanoscience

Schubert, Ulrich S.; Eschbaumer, Christian; Hien, Oliver; Andres, Philip R.

Abstract:

Different mono- and bis-terpyridines were synthesized utilizing nucleophilic substitution of 4
-chloro-2,2
:6
,2
-terpyridine. In the case of the mono-functionalized ligands, different functional groups opposite to the metal binding site could be introduced; with the bis-functionalized ligands building blocks for metal-containing polymers with a tailored alkyl-chain length were accessible. As examples, a functionalized terpyridine cadmium(II) complex as well as a fullerene derivative were prepared.
